Bashed Uber Driver Feared For His Life

BY IAN CROUCH

An Uber driver who was set upon and bashed by a gang of youths at Charlestown says he thought he was going to die.

35-year-old Gabriel Long says he was called to a job on Dudley Road at about 12.30 on Sunday  morning, only to be confronted by up to 50 youths who ran at his car.

Mr Long told reporters he was pulled from the car and bashed by four or five teenagers but somehow managed to drag himself over to a house where the occupants heard his cries for help.
